Central console has simplified multi-region deployments and now supports quick customer insights

Druva Data Security Cloud is used with AWS cloud and is public only, with AWS serving as the backend infrastructure. The customer never receives billing for AWS, as the customer receives billing from Druva only.From my perspective, Druva Data Security Cloud is a mature product that uses AWS backup as a backend solution and is available on AWS Cloud. This product is mature, and we do not need to hesitate about it, as it has wider acceptance in the market. AI-driven analytics in Druva Data Security Cloud help to optimize data security by providing correct suggestions and prioritizing action. Given the amount of data security products available and the sprawl of information and tickets that get raised with various concerns that come up, AI is definitely necessary to drill down.

Offers advanced features with notable emphasis on innovation

The best features of NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP include deduplication, compaction, and autonomous ransomware technology that native cloud storage solutions in AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud do not support. Moreover, NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP allows the use of multiple protocols including NFS, CIFS, and iSCSI, whereas native options may only support NFS and iSCSI. Customers already using on-premises NetApp storage such as FAS, AFF, or ASA can experience the same functionality on the cloud with NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP, which adds significant value. For data protection, customers can take advantage of the Snapshot technology available with NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP. This technology facilitates data recovery by allowing snapshots to be stored either on the same storage or on a disaster recovery (DR) storage. NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP helps us to take snapshots and store them on the same storage, with options for migration or replication of those snapshots to different storage, including on-premises DR storage or other cloud storage, providing excellent disaster recovery capabilities.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"From my perspective, Druva Data Security Cloud is a mature product that uses AWS backup as a backend solution and is available on AWS Cloud."

"The most valuable feature of Druva is that it can detect changes in files or laptops and perform incremental backups."

"Over the past five years, I haven't experienced any issues or problems with Druva."

"The centralized management console in this solution and AI-driven analytics are good features."

"They have very good support team who is very helpful. They will help you with every aspect of getting the deployment done."

"If you have a fair amount of experience with NetApp, you can work on it very easily."

"The tool's most valuable features are the SnapLock and SnapMirror features. If something goes wrong with the data, we can restore it. This isn't a mirror; we store data in different locations. If there's an issue on the primary site, we can retrieve data from the secondary site."

"The ability to do a straight SnapMirror from our on-prem to the cloud with no other data transitions is excellent."

"The solution’s unified file and block-storage access across our infrastructure is invaluable. Without it, we can't do what we do."

"With NetApp, you can integrate malware scanning or malware protection. This is something valuable that is not offered in SaaS solutions typically."

"The FlexClones make all the management easier for us."

"The feature which I like the most is that it has the capabilities that the traditional storage system offers. It provides all the functionality. The deduplication and compression work exactly like ONTAP's traditional storage. So people who have experience with that find it very easy to manage."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP pros

Cons

"I suggest improvements in the time it takes to restore data."

"I would rate Druva Data Security Cloud an eight on a scale from one to ten because there are better solutions available in the market in terms of security that give a better stack."

"They can improve their product quality for Salesforce as they don't have the capability to run that business without Technobind."

"I would like to see something from NetApp about backups. I know that NetApp offers some backup for Office 365, but I would like to see something from NetApp for more backup solutions."

"The only area for improvement would be some guidance in terms of the future products that NetApp is planning on releasing. I would like to see communication around that or advice such as, "Hey, the world is moving towards this particular trend, and NetApp can help you do that." I do get promotional emails from NetApp, but customer-specific advice would be helpful, based on our use cases."

"In terms of improvement, I would like to see the Azure NetApp Files have the capability of doing SnapMirrors. Azure NetApp Files is, as we know, is an AFF system and it's not used in any of the Microsoft resources. It's basically NetApp hardware, so the best performance you can achieve, but the only reason we can't use that right now is because of the region that it's available in. The second was the SnapMirror capability that we didn't have that we heavily rely on right now."

"Multipathing for iSCSI LUNs is difficult to deal with from the client-side and I'd love to see a single entry point that can be moved around within the cluster to simplify the client configuration."

"I would like to see better integration with Active IQ."

"Some of the licensing is a little kludgy. We just created an HA environment in Azure and their licensing for SVMs per node is a little kludgy. They're working on it right now."

"The support is good in general but the initial, front-line support could be improved. Because I have already been using the product for so long, when I call support I would rather talk to somebody who is a little bit more advanced or senior, rather than talking to the first-level support. Usually, it takes some time to reach out to their senior support."

"If they could include clustering together multiple physical Cloud Volumes ONTAP devices as an option, that could be helpful."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The standard pricing is online. Pricing depends. If you're using the PayGo model, then it's just the normal costs on the Microsoft page. If you're using Bring Your Own License, which is what we're doing, then you get with your sales contact at NetApp and start figuring out what price is the best, in the end, for your company."

"Our licensing costs are folded into the hardware purchases and I have never differentiated between the two."

"Cloud is cloud. It's still expensive. Any good solution comes with a price tag. That's where we are looking to see how well we can manage our data in the cloud by trying to optimize the costs."

"The solution's pricing is reasonable."

"Cost is a big factor, because a lot of companies can't afford enterprise grade equipment all the time. They skimp where they can. I would recommend that they improve the cost."

"Overall, the pricing of NetApp is aggressive and the pricing becomes more aggressive as the amount of data increases. The cost for a given volume of data that you are storing becomes lower. The greater the volume of data, the cheaper the license."

"The cost is quite high."

"Purchasing through the AWS Marketplace was good, but it was a test system, not a real purchase."
